Poland and India: Strengthening Strategic Defence Ties with Drone Technologies

Poland aims to enhance its defence collaboration with India, particularly focusing on advanced drone technologies. This initiative seeks to view India as a strategic partner rather than just a market, leveraging India's 'Make in India' initiative. Poland's defence industry is actively fostering joint ventures and strategic partnerships.

In a bid to bolster defence ties, Poland is keen to expand its collaboration with India, focusing specifically on advanced drone technologies, says a Polish Foreign Ministry official.

According to Michal Baranowski, Under Secretary in Poland's Ministry of Economic Development and Technology, the aim is to see India as a strategic partner rather than just a market. He highlighted Poland's cutting-edge drone capabilities, which have already been shared with India during Operation Sindoor.

Baranowski further mentioned the EU-India FTA and noted Poland's intention to elevate its economic relations with India to new heights. Amidst the ongoing US-Iran conflict impacting global energy supplies, he expressed hope for a swift return to diplomacy.
